Thank you for the warm welcome.  To answer your question, onethousandk, I have used Salvia D since my conversion, but didn't experience anything at all.  Seemed to have no effect at all.  I haven't even used Cannabis due to working in a job with random drug testing.  I have tried some of the synthetic cannabinoids that were making the rounds a couple years ago, but was less than impressed and found the experience to "feel" synthetic. 

To respond to your question, nen888, I actually credit gnostic teaching with at least part of my journey back to Christ.  When I was first feeling a call back to Christianity, I tried out of few different Gnostic groups, but found most of them to have too much "cult of personality", which was something I was trying to get away from in the Yoga community of which I was a part at the time.  I think someone interested in gnosticism and the plurality of the early Church should read stuff by the UNC Chapel Hill scholar Bart Ehrman.  All his books are great, and I usually snatch them up as soon as the next one comes out.  I haven't read the Gospel of Mary Magdalene, but I have spent much time doing Lectio Divina (an ancient Christian technique of meditation on scripture) with The Gospel of Thomas and find its insights to be as deep as the ocean.

Due to my intense work life and the fact that I'm supporting three kids and a wife, I don't delve too deeply into hyperspace these days, but The Other is calling me back, thus my introduction here.
